americans have the right to self-defense. as the court has said to have guns in their homes to protect their families. no one can take away those rights or the guns. second amendment rights of the foundation of which our discussion rests. they are not at risk. what is at risk are lives. lives are risked when responsible people fail to stand up for laws and keep guns out of the hands of those who use them to commit murder especially mass murders. i ask we focus our discussion on additional statutory measures to better protect our children and all americans. i say this as a parent and as a grandparent. ours is a free society. an open society. we come together today to consider how to become a safer and more secure society. no one begrudges the government assistance provided to victims of mass tragedies made possible by the law we passed after the bombing in oklahoma city. the bill introduced last week against gun trafficking was similar proved helpful and i believe it will become accepted part of our crime control framework. it

and non-defense. and so there are many different ways we can approach this. but i am committed to approaching this. i have said, and i will continue to say, that sequestration was the last resort. we thought we would do better with the supercommittee. we didn't. so this is what we're faced with. and i hope that we can all work together to lessen the burden on defense spending and, of course, non-defense spending. that is what sequestration is all about. i'm committed to do that. i'm happy to work with my friend from oklahoma. if he can't find enough allies, either republicans or democrats, i'll be happy to continue to work with him to figure out a way that we can have this issue brought before the senate. mr. inhofe: and mr. chairman? the presiding officer: the senator from oklahoma. mr. inhofe: through the chair, i would make a comment that many times the distinguished leader has been helpful in the highway bill and the pilots bill of rights and others. i would have to say i would not have been able

defense. the pentagon spent almost 13% more than normal in the third quarter, but at the end of the year, defense spending suddenly dropped 22%. that's the biggest drop in defense spending since 1972. the private sector did its part to grow the economy. families worked hard. they spent some money. businesses made some investments. but government spending dipped and pulled the entire economy down with it. less spending caused less growth. but republicans like paul ryan keep saying, well, these cuts are going to boost the growth. >> we're not preaching austerity. we're preaching growth and opportunity. our job, our goal is to prevent and preempt austerity so we can get back to growth. >> really? countries like greece, italy and spain and france have done exactly what ryan wants this country to do. they cut government spending to pay off their debt. now the eurozone has posted record unemployment and poverty. we are facing $85 billion in automatic spending cuts on march 1st. we probably shouldn't
